machinanastusia's review against another edition

So sweet- I watched the Zorro film with Anthony Hopkins, yet to see the older version, I still felt the giddiness and fear and excitement of the story as if I was learning about Zorro for the first time all over again. I've been in a reading slump and this was fast but so enjoyable!
If you like yearning, danger, jack-sparrow level evasion, witty one-liners then this is the story to try!

A classic story with action, fighting, and romance. What's not to enjoy? It was a fairly quick read and kept me interested throughout the whole thing. Halfway through I did guess that Don Diego was Zorro and was just waiting for it to be revealed. I'm not totally sure why I thought that; I've seen bits and pieces of the movie so maybe I saw it at one point and it stuck in my subconscious.

That was fun. In some ways it reminded me of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Also I noticed that his cloak was described as purplish rather than black. And that his mask fully covered his face, because he had to raise it up to kiss the girl. So his outfit is different than the Zorro I've always known. That was interesting.

Fun read. The novel treats Zorro and Diego Vega as completely separate, with no hints as to who he is, aside from never being around at the same time.
The ending felt like a bit of a deus ex machina, and would kill off any sequels if stuck to, but it is still satisfying.

This isn't a bad book. There just aren't any surprises if you know Zorro's true identity before you go in.

Not great writing. Riddled with plot holes. Obvious plot twists. Black & white characters. And yet that is exactly the source of pleasure in this book. It is great pulp that doesn't take itself too seriously. The ending is farcical, brilliant, funny and moving all at once.
I heard this as a B. J. Harrison classic tales unabridged audio book. Highly recommend the podcast and his voice acting. He brought the book to life which may explain why I enjoyed it so much.
